AWESOME! Play it up all you want--you earned it! Glad your health is better, too!

I'm in the same boat as you! I have been very "on again, off again"--but this time I'm ON! I would love to help support you--we all need it at times! Feel free to add me, if you like (as well as others on this thread!)

"The question isn't who is going to let me, it's who is going to stop me." - Ayn Rand OOooooOOoo--I like this one!

I've been here off and on--now I'm back on. But I'm considering myself starting from square 1! Clean Slate! I'm 5'9" and 211 lbs. My short term goal is for 170, but my long term goal is 145-150 ish. I'm kind of pear/kind of hour glassy--somewhere in between. I'm doing this by Clean Eating and following the principles of…

ARe you eating too few calories? Sometimes that can cause you to hold onto the weight. Make sure you're eating all your calories and not going below your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Good luck and hang in there!

You look GREAT! Keep it up and enjoy your getaway weekend! : )

You can add me too!: )

You are amazing and an inspiration. I will definitely be taking this message with me. Congratultions on your hard work and success!!

Welcome! It's a great site--friend me if you want! :smile:

I agree! The more support the better! : ) Add me!

Not only that, but there are some reports that say it could be slowing down one's metabolism (aka "metabolic syndrome")--that's why I'm weaning myself off of it, too. I have it about 2 times a week at most. I used to have it twice a day, or one huge one from a fast food place. For me. I just had to cut it out bit by…

I'm in the LA area--I know what you mean about everyone being done before us!: ) Congrats on all your milestones so far!

Thanks--it's the 4th here! : ) I love this site, but am still struggling to stay under my daily caloric intake. I snack late at night too, but it's usually because I work at home and am up late into the wee hours of the morning and do get hungry (real hunger, not just "bored" hunger); so that in addition to poor planning…

Count me in! : ) (but don't count the 1/2 donut i just ate!) : )

You look great! YOu must feel awesome!! Keep up the good work!

I've done WW with some success before, and it's user-friendly & helpful. I liked the program and the people, but I just finally hit a point where I was gaining instead of losing (due to a change in medication), so I quit going. I would do both, keeping in mind that MFP is going to be more accurate in calories. On WW…

Okay, folks, I'm in. My goal is 50 lbs, but I'm making it much longer (Jun 2011) because I wanted to be, we'll say, "overly realistic". I yo-yo a lot, even when I'm more careful, and I didn't want to get discouraged by wanting too much too soon. BUT I'm going to see if I can keep up with your planned pace! I have been…

My knees grind when I do leg exercises like lunges. It never huts, but it sure sounds awful! I took glucosamine for a little while, but it didn't seem to make much of an improvement. My guess is that once my body gets used to the activity (aka., muscles surrounding noisy bones) will get stronger and maybe the…

Awesome! Great job & way to be an inspiration!!

Believe me, i COULD relate; and attitude is everything. If you read my blog entry, you can get an idea of my "epiphany". : ) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/FocusPlease good Luck! I know how hard it is! Fiend me if you need to be "nudged."

Let's Go! I"m right there with you! I've just started a couple weeks ago, and am still trying to get used to adjusting my food/calorie intake. But I'm here for the long haul, and happy to be here. I love this site! Friend me, if you like; I have 50 lbs to lose.

"Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" is his program. : )

Hello--I'm 40+ and need to lose 50. I have big goals ( most related to achieving a healthy lifestyle, others are personal) and big obstabcles, but I know I will achieve them this time. Good luck with yours, too! I'll be here to cheer you on! Le.:happy:

ooOOooo---this would be good! I'm starting a clean eating challenge tomorrow, too. I noticed your weight goal isn't too far from mine, so we can keep friendly competition going, and maybe see who gets there first (although you have a head start--ok by me, I just want the accountability). Friend me if you like! Le.

Good job!

Hmmm--I was thinking that tikka masala was something else, I guess--Trader Joe's version i thot was a bit lower in calories. Oops! could be why I 50 lbs to lose, huh? : )

tandoori chicken, tikki masala, a spinach or eggplant dish....but maybe don't have the rice with it.??? It is hard--I love Indian food, I wnat to have it ALL! enjoy your dinner!

Sure! Would love to join you all--I used to run years ago, but would like to do a couple 5Ks this year--maybe even work up to a 10K. Zoom. : )

Fantastic! You must feel great! Congratulations!
